Treble extension is insane, I always think I'm over it, but I may never be over it.

Youtube Video Summary

The Elysian Annihilator 2023 arrives with a premium yet pared-back presentation: a compact black felt case, a full set of SpinFit W1 tips, cleaning tool, and cable tie. Build feels meticulous with excellent channel matching, and the faceplate options—titanium, steel, or gold—add flair. Fit sits on the larger side but remains manageable; comfort is mostly solid, though the upper cable segment can create minor pressure. Two practical caveats: the stock cable is fixed to a rare Pentaconn-style IEM connector (not MMCX/2-pin), making swaps tricky, and the termination is 4.4mm only, which limits simple dongle use without an adapter.

Sonically, this is all about extension, clarity, and effortless detail. Treble presents as almost holographic yet controlled, aided by a tasteful dip around 5–6 kHz and invigorating energy near 10 kHz. Bass is more present than its reputation suggests, with a satisfying lift up to roughly 200 Hz that supports a clean, “studio-like” presentation and sweet, well-placed vocals. It can get intense: the combination of high resolution and forward brilliance may read as spicy or mildly fatiguing for some, but for those chasing speed, air, and imaging precision, the payoff is big.

Against peers, the character comes into focus. Compared to sets like the Chopin, Annihilator sounds richer and more authoritative while keeping a similarly ergonomic silhouette. The HiSenior Mega5 EST feels lean in the low end by comparison, and while Monarch iterations bring fun bass (MKIII) or sweeter monitoring vibes (earlier versions), they don’t hit the same engagement. The Fatfreq Grand Maestro complements well but its switchable profiles and extra ~3 kHz energy can be fussier; Annihilator stays consistent and “set-and-forget.” Taken as a whole, this is a confidently tuned, ultra-resolving flagship—pricey and a bit particular on ergonomics and connectivity, but outstanding for listeners who value crystalline treble extension, incisive transients, and no-nonsense reliability.

Really excellent, really fun.

Youtube Video Summary

Solid build with a metallic faceplate, flat 2-pin connector, and a fit that avoids hot spots. Isolation is only okay. The cable looks premium and includes an impedance adapter to 4.4mm, though it’s a bit stiff and the chin slider is basically MIA; the case and box feel nice but unremarkable.

Tonally, the Omnium Ti rides a gradual bass shelf into slightly warm territory, with elevated upper mids and a touch of 8 kHz bite. Treble is clean and controlled but not “wow,” mids are competent, and the bass—while plentiful—comes across either too much or too dull depending on the track. Detail retrieval can feel split: imaging and fine-grain rendering impress, yet some regions seem a bit short on micro-detail.

Graphically it measures “right,” but the overall tuning can miss that special sauce. Soundstage is good, technicals are respectable, and the impedance adapter nudges bass up further. At $3,000 it reads more “statement piece” than slam-dunk value; many will love its neutral-rich tonality, but those seeking extra excitement or sparkle might prefer alternatives (or even the original Omnium’s spicier vibe). A well-made flagship that’s easy to appreciate—just not the most distinctive in its bracket.
